Chapter 311: Affordable
On the second day of Xiao Cheng's trip to Guangdong Province, Yu Xiaoling and Yang Sisi came to ask Bai Lu to go to school to fill in the volunteers.
Also accompanied by Yu Dongxu.
The scorching sun baked the earth like a big fireball, there was not a trace of wind, the air was filled with a boiling heatwave, and the streets seemed to be smoking from a distance.
The moss at the corner of the bluestone pavement is gone, the grass is gone, and an egg can be cooked on the ground.
When people walk on the road, it is like setting themselves on the stove and roasting them so that their hair is smoking, and their dehydrated and hot skin is warned, and if they continue to dry it, they will dry up.
If it weren't for the umbrella in hand, Bai Lu would have suspected that she would be roasted dry, after all, she was already in the sauna.
Xiao Cheng went to Guangdong Province this time to discuss cooperation, including air conditioning and refrigerators, I really hope he will get it back soon.
"Father-in-law's love is so passionate, I really don't want it! I'm dying of heat......"
Yu Xiaoling didn't dare to move the umbrella at all, for fear that there would be smoke above his head, and his hands wiping sweat would almost be burned.
But who can refuse the "kindness" of the sun father-in-law, and don't bask you to the point of hot head, it can't prove how merciful it is, how selfless and great its love is.
Love all things in the world.
"If only there was air conditioning."
Yang Sisi's face was also so hot that his face was red, and his mouth was steaming: "With air conditioning, no matter how big the sun is outside, the home is as cool as autumn."
"And such an amazing goodie!" Yu Xiaoling's eyes lit up: "What is an air conditioner?"
Yang Sisi is also not very clear: "It should be a machine that can blow a cool breeze at home, I saw it on TV a few days ago, when the TV was playing a family drama."
"It's also dog days in the family drama, the main road in the city is so hot that it smokes, the heroine goes to buy a grocery, her clothes are soaked with sweat, her face is also sunburned, and when she gets home, she says that she wants to turn on the air conditioner.
"The heroine took the remote control, the same as the remote control we turned on the TV, pressed it for a while, her flushed face immediately returned to normal, and she fell asleep after lying on the sofa for a while, obviously very cool and comfortable......
Yu Xiaoling also has a TV at home, which Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui bought in Xiao Cheng's store.
But Yu Xiaoling usually doesn't watch family dramas, and prefers to watch martial arts dramas, and Yu Dongxu also likes to watch martial arts dramas.
Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui are keen on how to make the fruit business better and better, and their lives are getting better and better.
Therefore, even if Yu Xiaoling has a TV at home, he really doesn't know that there is such a thing as an air conditioner.
But it didn't hinder it, when the brother and sister heard something related to electrical appliances, they immediately thought of Xiao Cheng's electrical appliance store.
The second time, I thought of the proprietress of the electrical appliance store, who was by my side-
"White Dew!"
Yu Xiaoling's eyes lit up, and she stared directly at the proprietress with a straight face: "Bai Lu, do you have air conditioners for sale in your home appliance store?" Is the air conditioner really that good? ”
Yu Dongxu also looked at Bai Lu with anticipation, hot sweat dripped down his forehead, and he forgot to wipe it.
Yang Sisi finally remembered that Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu are husband and wife, and Xiao Cheng sells electrical appliances, which means that Bai Lu also sells electrical appliances.
"I heard you're going to build a new home, a new home, a new atmosphere, you're going to buy a lot of new furniture, right?"
"Is there an air conditioner or something?"
Bai Lu didn't expect to fill in a volunteer, and there was business sent to the door, so he immediately opened his mouth to sell: "Yes."
"The air conditioner is really a good thing, installed in the room, it doesn't take half an hour to turn it on, the whole room will be very cool, even if it's hot outside to smoke, the room can be as cool as autumn, like a little colder, you can also adjust the low temperature, and sleep directly under the quilt at night for the winter."
"Xiao Cheng has gone to Guangdong Province yesterday to discuss cooperation, and he will bring the goods back in less than three days, not only air conditioning, but also refrigerators, and the fruits will be delicious if they are frozen in the refrigerator.
"You can also buy some popsicle ice cream and come back, freeze it yourself, eat it whenever you want, you can eat it whenever you want, the air conditioner and refrigerator will be new in the electrical appliance store in the city, you can go and see it with you when the time comes."
Yu Xiaoling listened to the description of Bai Lu's beautiful voice, and could already imagine a bright future.
With ice cream in one hand and a remote control in the other, she sat comfortably on the sofa and blew the cool breeze, eating ice cream while watching the fairy life of martial arts dramas.
That's great!
Air conditioner, refrigerator!
"Isn't the air conditioner expensive?" Yang Sisi stopped Yu Xiaoling's crazy excitement with a word.
The town is not rich, and it will cost all your savings to buy a TV set, so how can you have any money left over to buy good things.
Those who do business on the street have a little money to spare.
But it does not include Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui.
Because, the money earned by the couple from selling sugar fried chestnuts not long ago has been spent to buy an electric chestnut flipping machine, and now, it should be possible that it may have returned to its original cost.
As for how much money they made, Yu Xiaoling and Yu Dongxu don't know, and they probably can't afford to buy air conditioners.
Yu Xiaoling cautiously asked Bai Lu: "We have never heard of air conditioning on TV, and there is no air conditioning in the city, air conditioning is a good thing that only rich and noble families in big cities can afford, can we afford it?"
Bai Lu gave her a reassuring look: "I can afford it."
The most expensive period of air conditioning, in the 80s and before, was indeed affordable only for the wealthy, and ordinary people could not afford it after spending half their life savings.
Fortunately, the end of the 90s, which they are now in, is an era of great competition among domestic enterprises.
From 1992 to 1995, many new air conditioning brands were added in China, which began to promote the fashion trend.
From 1995 to 2000, the competition among major production enterprises was fierce, and large-scale price wars broke out frequently.
The enterprises that caused the "air conditioning war", some even played the strategy of "want the market, not profit", etc., and the price of domestic air conditioning fell sharply, and during the most fierce competition, there was even a "few hundred yuan air conditioner".
The night before Xiao Cheng's departure, Bai Lu had talked to him about paying more attention to the air-conditioning market outside.
It is not necessary to cooperate with the electrical appliance manufacturer that produces the TV, although everything is cooperated with the same manufacturer, and it will be more convenient in terms of after-sales service.
However, there are lower prices, guarantees, and good reputation of big brand electrical appliance manufacturers, and it is more suitable to cooperate separately.
Even if you can't meet the price war of "hundreds of yuan air conditioners", a little lower is more profitable than the original price of electrical appliance factories.
After all, making money is the big deal.
Since ancient times, the way of doing business has been based on profit-seeking, and there is no need to lose a lot of profit for the useless wine friendship at the wine table.
Drinking is drinking, making money is making money, and if the former can bring benefits to the latter, it doesn't hurt to drink two more glasses.
If not, decisive cooperation is the best policy.
"I'm going to save up for an air conditioner!"
Yu Xiaoling absolutely believed in the words of the proprietress Bai Lu: "After filling in the volunteers, I will immediately go with my brother to help my parents sell fruits, sell sugar and fried chestnuts, and I will definitely be able to buy an air conditioner and a big refrigerator soon!"
